Rated at 12kN (1,224kg) along the major axis, suitable for securely hanging hammocks, swings, yoga swings, punching bags, and supporting heavy loads safely.

How it compares in Climbing
Across the 30 rated climbing products we track, the typical score is 4.6 out of 5. This one sits at 4.7, which puts it in the upper quarter of the category rather than level with it. Where almost everything is rated well, the gap at the top is small in points and large in practice. That places it first of the 30 we rank here.
It carries 4,592 ratings against a category median of 981. A rating from a large base is harder to distort and tends to hold up over time, so a high score here means more than the same score on a new listing.
On price it sits in the upper third of a category running from £2.99 to £15.99, where the midpoint is about £8.99. Paying above the category norm needs a reason beyond the rating, because the score alone does not justify the gap here.
